Abstract: A satellite navigation receiver uses common dual-conversion superheterodyne and frequency synthesiser circuitry for receiving signals from both the GPS and the GLONASS satellite navigation systems. Successive first and second frequency down-converters (14,18) in the receiver chain are fed by first and second local oscillator signals (24,26) which are both variable in frequency such that the frequency of the first local oscillator signal (24) is an integral multiple (preferably 8) of the second local oscillator signal (26). This relationship is provided by a binary divider (32) at least a portion of which may form part of a digital frequency synthesiser loop (30). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un procédé d'imagerie par transfert thermique dans lequel une source d'exposition à balayage, par exemple un laser, est utilisée pour effectuer un transfert thermique de colorant d'une feuille émettrice vers une feuille réceptrice pour le colorant transféré thermiquement. Selon un aspect, un matériau absorbant les rayonnements est incorporé dans la feuille réceptrice, de telle sorte qu'une exposition en forme d'image des feuilles émettrice et réceptrice en contact provoque l'échauffement des zones exposées de la feuille réceptrice et donc le transfert thermique du colorant. Selon un autre aspect, la feuille émettrice comprend une couche de colorant déposée par vapeur, et soit le colorant lui-même est capable d'absorber le rayonnement d'exposition, soit la feuille émettrice comprend en plus un matériau absorbant les rayonnements dans une sous-couche séparée de la couche de colorant. De nouveaux types de feuilles émettrices et réceptrices pour un transfert thermique sont également décrits.

Abstract: A system for rapid and automatic identification of persons, with very high reliability and confidence levels. The iris of the eye is used an optical fingerprint, having a highly detailed pattern that is unique for each individual and stable over many years. Image analysis algorithms find the iris in a live video image of a person's face, and encode its texture into a compact signature, or "iris code." Iris texture is extracted from the image at multiple scales of analysis by a self-similar set of quadrature (2-D Gabor) bandpass filters defined in a dimensionless polar coordinate system. The sign of the projection of many different parts of the iris onto these multi-scale quadrature filters, determines each bit in an abstract (256-byte) iris code. The degrees-of-freedom in this code are based on the principle forms of variation in a population of irises studied. Because of the universal mathematical format and constant length of the iris codes, comparisons between them are readily implemented by the Exclusive-OR (XOR) logical operation. Pattern recognition is achieved by combining special signal processing methods with statistical decision theory, leading to a statistical test of independence based on a similarity metric (the Hamming distance) that is computed from the XOR of any two iris codes. This measure positively establishes, confirms, or disconfirms, the identity of any individual. It also generates an objective confidence level associated with any such identification decision.

Abstract: An apparatus and method in a tablet computer for disambiguating a handwriting input stream generated by a stylus-based user interface. A tablet application program interface (TAPI) of the present invention receives stroke data generated by a stroke made by a user on a digitizing tablet. The TAPI inserts the stroke data into a database. If the stroke is an editing gesture, the TAPI routes the stroke to a gesture recognizer which identifies an editing dialog. The TAPI then executes the dialog to perform operations on the database. If the application program is expecting text input, the TAPI continues to receive stroke data until it detects a closure event. The TAPI then forms a stroke group entry in the database by grouping all non-gesture stroke data received since the last closure event. The TAPI routes the stroke group data to a character recognizer, which returns candidate characters. The TAPI inserts the candidate characters into the stroke group entry. The TAPI notifies the application program each time it updates the database. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the case of a baling press for forming essentially cylindrical bales made of cardboard waste, paper waste, film waste or a similar material, the material, which can be fed to a baling chamber, is made to rotate in the baling chamber by at least one drivable carrier belt which at least partly encloses the baling chamber parallel to the cylinder axis of the finished cylindrical bale. In this process, the material can be compacted by the carrier belt, which can be pressed against at least some parts of the material, to form a cylindrical bale, using at least one motor-drivable drive roller which is at least partly enclosed by one of the carrier belts. The carrier belt rests against the drive roller with its top side facing the cylindrical bale. The carrier belt, forming a wedge-shaped gap which is open at the top, is guided under tensile stress via deflection rollers in such a way that mutually opposing regions of the carrier belt recede to the essentially cylindrical baling chamber (56) when material is fed into the wedge-shaped gap, with widening of the gap. The carrier belt extends in the direction of the cylinder axis of the finished cylindrical bale over the entire width of the baling chamber. The baling chamber is surrounded by a single carrier belt. The angle of wrap of the carrier belt amounts on the drive roller to over 270 DEG , preferably over 300 DEG . <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-arm interferometer, in which the measurement information is obtained from the interference of two beams (1, 2) of different frequency. According to the invention, there is provided for each beam (1, 2) a source location for generating component beams which are assigned to one another in conjunction with a direction of propagation which is the same at least in sections, and of which, after it has traversed an interferometer arm, each component beam of the one frequency has a common beam path with the assigned component beam of the other frequency so as to produce interference. A compact design with low dimensions is realised in which, while retaining the heterodyne measurement principle, frequency fluctuations in the laser light source and changes in the environmental conditions leave the measurement result obtained unaffected as far as possible, and non-linear errors are ruled out. <IMAGE>

According to a preferred embodiment the rear tower (6) in the direction of movement forms a jet of solder comprising a movement component counter to the movement of the objects for soldering and enclosing an acute angle with the object for soldering.
